Torchwood: Miracle Day - finally over
Here are two reviews which will not only save you the pain of watching Torchwood: Miracle Day, but also make you laugh. My favourite quotes under the cut, because they're spoilery.
- 'But to no one's surprise, Jack lived. How? Who cares-the writers certainly didn't.'
- 'oh my god what was the real point of flashing back to the 1920s and spending an episode at Casa de Dead Italian Lover?'
- 'Fact: No members of an super-secret underground organization would plot their save-the-world Pièce de résistance with a convicted murderer, child-rapist, and potential arch-enemy in the next room. But that's what happened on Torchwood.'
- 'it exudes some kind of morphic field that helps regulate the human lifespan. Why this underground tentacle helps Homo Sapiens and not, say, Korean leaf-rolling weevils is unknown.'
- 'the Blessing’s lengthy backstory as a friendly travelling psychic tentacle with a love of hanging around encased in rock for four billion years until eventually, in the last few geological seconds of its imprisonment, a race of sentient apes who needed their lifespans regulated appeared for it to communicate with'
- 'As if acknowledging that Esther was about as interesting as a 4am Open University documentary about silicon, Rex (Team Buenos Aries) and Jack (Team Shanghai) barely hesitate before going ahead with ‘Operation Gross Bloodsplurge’.'
